ok so its an auto! --- recently bought seems in good nick... anyways.....

The exhaust was rusted so i replaces it from the cat back. didn't notice much diff apart from a nice sound around 2000rpm (redback).

(also debadged it and came tinted -very light- can u re-tint???

I am planning to install a K&N panel filter on the weekend. (heard it improves performance a bit)

I am a little stumped as what to do next, i want 2 install something 2 improve performance just a bit more then i'll be happy. I'm not rly on a big budget either. was thinking maybe extractors??? pacemaker brand? i don't know though.

also, heard removing the 'intake resonators' -not sure what that means.... do anytghing 4 performance? (my old man is pretty handy with cars, should be able to do most things that don't require harcore equipment).

Was thinking of lowering it and buying some mags (exec model hubcaps atm lol)
then maybe whacking a soundsystem in it.



any advice? (i might need it spelled out for me like a baby, i don't know much about this stuff)

performance wise, k&n + catback + pacemakers would be your best value for money, then build it more for corners (suspensions tuff)

cool know of a place that can install the pacemakers 4 me? and how much u rkn im looking at?

oh and also, u know of an autobarn or something similar that stocks the KN filter for TJs, because i can't get off work long enough to make a downpayment (takes em like 3 days 2 get them in ) and i want 2 install this weekend (busy in the upcoming weeks)

yeah dont buy stuff from autobarn...
Try bursons, they can get things in same day in most cases.
Ring up exhaust places to get qoutes mate
You make this go "fast" unless you spend thousands, you'll make it faster but not by much.
Exhaust and intake modifications are the easiest to do.
After that, cams and a manual conversion are the best bang for buck along with a piggyback ECU

autobarn chirnside got my filter for $80, but i did have to pay $10 deposit

i would reccomend ringwood performance exhausts or ferndale exhausts, i have only used ferndale they are cheap as, quality is good for the price

Sure is with a stock exhaust, some people have had varied results but I recommend it totally mate.

(Not sure if it will work for you but I searched 'spice lids' which is what the mod is usually referred to, I've done it so shoot me a PM if you need a hand or have a read of my ride thread)

Intake Resinator removal does not increase anything but noise and yes this has been proven on a dyno on many occasions

I can fit the Pacemakers for you for $60 bucks, you just need to get them. There are many places you can get them from starting from the good old fleabay right trrough to many parts places
